My Son Josiah has been going there since he was 2 and he has learned so much and has prosper on so many levels from his First Teacher Ms.Debbie helping with potty training, being hands on with him and now his teacher MsVal and MsAlexis being consistent We LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE FROM THE CENTER AS THEY DO MY SON. It does not go unnoticed all the hard work and dedication that is put into each kids. Let’s NOT FORGET the amazing ADMINISTRATOR MS.MARIE. She is a Gem with a heart full of Gold. Thank you so much for the support! The BEST DAYCARE a Parent can ask for ❤️

I was super nervous when my baby first started here a few months ago because he had only been home with family. Never did I imagine the love and village were just the same here as at home. They treat EVERY kid as if it’s their own. I am so happy to drop my son off knowing he is in good hands. From the wonderful staff at the front door to the teachers who show nothing but patience with my baby boy. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOU DO DAILY!

I love the staff and I even love the new location! We struggled at first, but I am glad to say that they made us feel right at home.

Friday my daughter finished her last day of summer camp at Fort Washington and will start Kindergarten on Monday. I’m reaching out because I wanted to share with you how positive our experience at ELCA has been with our child’s Pre-k teacher, Maggie Winner, and Director Christina Sibley. We attended another center prior to ELCA and been through many directors and teachers and these two are by far some of the best there is.

Maggie’s compassion, patience, and creative way of teaching have helped my daughter thrive and be in a perfect position to go into Kindergarten. Aside from teaching, Maggie is one of the best humans I’ve ever met. She is truly one of a kind and we will be eternally grateful that we got to share a year of our life with her.

Christina has been such a consistent, reliable presence with a knack for planning and handling difficult situations. I’m sure it wasn’t easy handling all the COVID stuff and she did it seamlessly, even over the weekend. She is ALWAYS there. In our experience at other centers, sometimes the Director would be hard to track down if you really needed to speak with them. Not Christina. She’s there for early morning drop-offs and later afternoon pickups. And she responds to emails almost always on the same day. There were times when I emailed her over the weekend with something for the coming week and I’d be surprised when she responded before Monday morning. That’s unheard of. Sometimes I’ve worried about her work-life balance, she’s so available at the center. In my professional experience in the banking industry, we have a high turnover rate too due to the nature of the industry. However, when we have a stellar employee that we’d be devastated to lose, we make sure to do everything we can to make sure we retain them. Additionally, all the staff seems to genuinely like and respect her, which is a hard line to walk.

I hope you know how lucky you are to have Maggie and Christina. They made our lives so much easier and we will miss them dearly.

I have been taking my children to ELCA at Springfield for almost seven years. I always feel confident that when I leave my children in the center’s care, that they are safe and will be treated well and have fun! I would vouch for my children’s teachers and the director at ELCA any day

This is a clean, safe and very professional center. The safe is always polite. Great education and academic program.

The best daycare since I switched my daughter there she’s always happy and healthy I will definitely recommend it to anyone I know thank you to the director Ms. Terry and her teachers miss Kristen and Kim.

My daughter has had such a wonderful experience at ELCA. She has made great friends and has had the best teachers who truly care about all of the kids, really get to know each family, and understand every child’s needs.

My girls have been attending this daycare for seven months and they love it. They have learned so much.

My older son has been attending ELCA since 2019, and my younger son since 2021. We have been very happy with the level of care, learning curriculums, and policies that are in place at ELCA. The director, teachers, and staff are friendly, responsive, hard-working, and overall wonderful! ELCA uses an app where I can see photos of and get updates on my kids, and message the teachers if needed. They are always planning fun activities, like Eagles Day and pizza Fridays, and they will bring in special visitors, like Mrs. Claus or Queen Elsa. They also have a secure playground area and always incorporate outdoor play when there is nice weather. My boys love going to school here. We definitely recommend ELCA!
